Comment on Need a Gun? by On the North River https://onthenorthriver.com/2019/03/21/need-a-gun/#comment-41604
Thu, 21 Mar 2019 15:35:43 +0000http://onthenorthriver.com/?p=15465#comment-41604Small women, the sick and the elderly need guns to safely walk to the store or sit alone in their apartment.
Big guys like me need guns against two or three opponents or someone armed.

We all need a gun, and the best damn gun with high capacity magazines, good sights and zeroed in. When that man tells us to get in the boxcar for transport to the Re-education Camp.

Of course that girl in the bar has probably already voted for a liberal/socialist politician who promises to ban guns to make her safe. The day may come when her father and brothers turn in their guns, because they are Law-abiding citizens. And she has married a guy that wouldn’t think of buying or owning a gun. Besides, now it’s the law.
One morning she wakes up and looks around and realizes, she’s in Venezuela.

No empire has ever withstood the march of history, and likewise our own will fail. We are far too young a nation to believe ourselves untouchable, and only through arrogance and naivety do we convince ourselves of our most dangerous folly: “It can’t happen to me.”

The people of the West desperately need a reality check. We are so comfortable, so happy, and so ignorant of our own good fortune that we begin to believe humanity has changed. But more and more it becomes clear that this belief is unfounded, put to lie by the violence visited upon innocents across our nation. The wolves are among us once more, and no law will protect you. You are responsible for yourself.

Thu, 21 Mar 2019 14:34:13 +0000http://onthenorthriver.com/?p=15465#comment-41602If you don’t mind, let me add one thing. You’d be surprised how many people are open to giving guns a try. Over the years we’ve introduced dozens of people to guns. Some– even the most liberal among them– have gone on to become gun owners. The others at least will then have some idea of the truth about guns, how normal people practice gun safety, and how they feel about 2A. So this belligerent attitude works in a bar at 2am. But shouldn’t the goal be to get them to be more open minded? Take a liberal shooting!

Thu, 14 Mar 2019 06:40:17 +0000http://onthenorthriver.com/?p=15441#comment-41513We can all stop wondering why there are so many people walking around with degrees from fancy universities, yet they cannot even tie their own shoes. The problem with so many, nowadays, (with their entitlement mentality) is that they are unwilling, unmotivated, and lack genuine drive to work hard physically or mentally to better themselves. This is what the “me-first” generation has spawned.

Comment on The Larch…No, No, the Black Locust. by On the North River https://onthenorthriver.com/2013/06/04/the-larch-no-no-the-black-locust/#comment-41421
Wed, 06 Mar 2019 02:03:09 +0000http://onthenorthriver.com/?p=7040#comment-41421In my experience when they hit the body of a car they leave a hard to remove brown stain. Also there are long woody stems that come off the tree in thousands and can slip into the gutters past the regular leaf barriers.

The petals are very-very thin, and mostly made of water. Once the water evaporates, it takes very little for the remaining residue to decompose into dust which is swept away by the wind.
